alssssa1ltlriia Gazetts,

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper Ir
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and Its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGRTY.sEvEN YEARS of fits existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is ALWAYS
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part of the world i; hence
its patrons can read from lis columns in lie
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE 10 publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE s. great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othe
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will.
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are 10 he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily 10
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is sef-evident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country ed.
as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three tines
q week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
vertising in the GAZETTE are therefore, ap-
darent.

A Leaf from the Note Book of n Pri-

With political bee in my bonnet,
have been waiting for many year,
While I've been enticed by many hope,
And pursued by many fear:
I've hoped that at last the time would come
When my debut could make,
And Of political honors strewed around
I'could my choice take.
But fear that if wait till then
That my head will hosry be,
And desire to be up and ADDING
Is what has got hold of me.
have set my sail, but alas in vain,
To catch each popular breeze,
For whenever fully expected thaw
We were sure to have freeze.
In the State debt issue thought I'd found
A hobby that twould pay to ride;
But all Of my foolish county men they
Took straight to the other side.
Then swung my sails and took tack,
And to the democrats came right back.
When the local option boom was up
thought I'd make my jack,
And ride into some office
Upon his watery back.
But the soyereigrs put their foot on it,
And swore they'd take their "tod,"
And would not set cold water up
To be worshipped as god.
But Pm bound to be a candidate.
can't wait any longer;
So those who do not like it weak
Had better take it stronger.
I want their votes both wet and dry,
To please them all I'll surely try,
At least till Pm elected.
But whom that glorious honor's mine
Among the demi-gods I'll shine,
III tip my glass and sip the wine,
And suck the julep all divine,
By screens and blinds protected.
My talents and learning are great, as you sec,
But still the fear occurs to me
That may not as yet appreciated be-
But Pm bound to run, in spite of thunder,
Tho it may turn out foolirh blunder. Z.

America Humiliated.

Mrs. Phelps, writes a London CORES
pendent, quite won the admiration of
London society people when she first
came here by her determination in in
sisting upon being received by the Queen
at Windsor as the wives of ambassadors
are. The representative of the United
not an ambassador, he . has to take
rank among the representatives of the
small nations of the earth who are here.
The wives of ambassadors have a right
to call upon the Queen, and are the only
members of the diplomatic corps who
have a right. Mrs Phelps determined
that she, as the wife of the representa-
tive of one of the largest governments
of the world, should have this right
too. Minister Phelps position at court
is, says this correspondent, not one to be
envied. At levees the six ambassadors
are given a place of honor among the
high nobility at the left of the Prince of
Wales. Members of the Government
stand opposite them at one side of the
room. Mr.. Phelps, with the representa-
tives of small countries, stand off at
quite distance in a more humble place.
The American minister is allowed to run
over and speak with the members of the
Government whom he may know, but he
cannot stand with them during the en-
tire time of the levee. At state dinners
our minister is placed low down at the
table, with the minister from Hayu on
one side of him and the minister from
Japan ON the other, with neither Of whom
he Is able to speak word.

READING. PA, May 11.-Stephen
Weldon, an old gentleman living happily
here with his third wife, has Just been
that, it is alleged. the old gentleman
agreed to pay for suitable bride.
Weldon, so the story goes, called on
peared downhearted. He said he was
going back to Chester County, where he
buried two wives, to get another wife.
Whats the use of going there when
there are so many excellent women
here asked Schetler.
Welden replied that he knew of none
in Reading
why, can get you splendid wife
here" said Schetler.
IF You do 1 will give you 800" re-
piled Weldon, ''but she must be an A No.
| wife and hOusekeeper, pleasant and
cheerful, speak English and must be
fairly good looking"
Schetler further alleges that he agreed
to the terms: that he got Mrs. John
Grove, very respectable middle aged
widow. to call on neighbor, and that
Farmer Weldon. dressed in his best,
was taken there by Schetler and intro
duced. The couple were pleased with
each other. and in a few months We're
happily married.
Weldon sold his farm, and is now hv-
ing nicely in this city, and his house is a
model of neatness. his wife being one of
the best. He says he was never happier
in his life.
SchetIer made demand for the 800,
and il being refused, he brought suit to-
day before Justice Long to recover it.

The Florida Herald arraigns us in
these words:
..Will THE PALATKA News be kind
enough to state when the Herald opposed
Gov. Perry upon the ground that he
should not vacate the Gubernatoriai
chair? When THE NEWS fails to find
such an argument from the Heraid-as
it surely will fail-then will ThE NEWS
justify its reputation for courtesy and
fairness, by excepting the Herald from
the criticisms which it advances against
those papers which opposed Perry's va
eating the executive office, and yet adj
vocated McWhorter's leaving the chief
seat of justice to accept the Senatorship.
The position was one assumed by nearly
all the Bloxham journals and the Editor
of the PaLATKA News was honestly I'M
der the impression that it had been taken
by its honored contemporary, the Flor
iia Herald. We have no file of that pa
per and cannot give the exact words
upon which our belief was founded
they may have been embodied in com
munication. But the Herald repudi-
ates the illogical position criticised, and
that is enough-we apologize and make
recantation full and immediate.

Some Young Southern Man.
Boston Hefald.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 16.-It is
Woods will be a Southern man. Ii is
certain that he Will be comparatively
young man, for the reason that the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee has decided to
report adversely the nomination to "A
judgeship of any man who Is nearing
the statutory age for retirement. The
Pre-. ident, too, believes in putting vigor-
Gus growing men on the bench. OF
course, no one has presented the matter
to the President formally as yet. But
this decent delay viii not continue long.
The names of candidates Will be pre-
scented to the President as soon as the
funeral of Justice Woods is over. 1t
seems to be generally regarded as fitting
that the successor of Justice Woods
should come from Georgia, since Justice
Woods was appointed from that State.
If Georgia would present one, and only
one man, solidly supported by all her
Senators and Representatives, and that
was the name of "a first-class and COM
paratively young man, he would stand a
very good chance of getting the place.
Senator Colquitt. who is here to-day.
received kilograms from the friends of
lex-Congressman Hammond, of j. T..
| Glenn and of Clifford w. Anderson, urg-
ing him to present their names. Ii is I'M
| derstOOd, however, that Glenn is not a
| candidate. The latest suggestion outside
| of Georgia Is that of ex-senator Howell
| T.. jackson. of Tennessee. now Circuit
| Judge. who has all the necessary quail
| ificatiOns and stands very high in the
| estimation of the President.

A Rash Evangelist MObbed.
New York Herald


Fully two hundred determined men
attended the Baptist services, held in
tent on Ridge avenue, in Park Ridge, n.
j.. on Sunday evening, determined to re-
sent the calumnieS which have of late
been uttered against leading citizens, by
an evangelist named Mason, who Is
speaker of the Sam Jones type, and is
known as the ''long haired man." Two
weeks ago Mason was rotten-egged by
the boys of the place, but his audience
last night was composed of the better
class of the community, many of them
being New York business men.
